Finally checked out a place I never ventured to when I was at UCSB: the old Mission! The interior was closed (pandemic, obvi) but we got to walk around the grounds a little. 📸Aug 4, 2020 #santabarbara #california #missionsantabarbara #oldmission #californiamissions #church #exploring #seetheworld #travel #traveling #travelinspiration (at Mission Santa Barbara) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJSK5KnhiBD/?igshid=2arup6yz9cfi

I am dead from the cuteness! Seriously. I was delighted to meet with Joni and 11 week old Ava today. We got right down to business and taught Ava how to be more polite and how to ask for things nicely. She also learned what yes and no mean. Ava was a very good student. And I am so proud of how Joni was able to step up into the role of leader to help Ava learn. They were both in a much better state of mind when I left and I look forward to seeing them again. #labrador #ilovepuppies #dogs #oldmission #dogtraining #traversecity #traversecitydogtrainer #meghantrainer #fairydogmother #aviewofthebayanddogsallday #BeaconBayDogTraining (at Old Mission Peninsula) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0o5te1FYF-/?igshid=152t3lr7v1dgx

The Old Adobe Mission originated as Our Lady of Perpetual Help (OLPH) Catholic Church and built by hand by the Mexicans who settled in Scottsdale in the late 1910s. #oldadobemission #oldmission #ourladyofperpetualhelp #catholic #church #catholicchurch #mexican #adobe #sanctuary #worship #jesus #jesuschrist #god #religion #historic #historicbuildings #building #architecture #architecturephotography #photography #canon #canonphotographer #oldtown #oldtownscottsdale #historic #historicoldtown #scottsdale #scottsdaleaz #arizona #scottsdalephotographer #arizonaphotographer #fromwhereistand @themissionaz @district_scottsdale @arizonahighways @azfoothills @scottsdaleariz @oldtownscottsdale_az @mimiparisphotography #rt https://www.instagram.com/p/BvDJHduFIcf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=147xwhlelri7s

I sometimes forget just how much history is in Southern California. This area dates back to the 1700s and is credited with being the first missions in the United States. #sanjuancapistrano #serraschurch #travelblogger #travelblogging #blogginglife #bloggerslife #historicalsites #californiahistory #sightseeingtour #oldmission #historicalchurch #historicalsites #bloggingtravels #travelwriter (at Mission San Juan Capistrano, CA)
